[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure it's a good sign you are arguing about this to the point of sleeping in different rooms when you discuss it.

I think it's fair to ask for a timeline from her.  Not a "let's discuss in 6 months" thing.  But when she reasonably thinks this would fit into your (her?) lives.

But the intensity of this discussion feels like it's gotten too big.  I'd suggest a neutral 3rd party, aka: therapist.

And it may be time to start contemplating what you want your life to look like if she decides she does not want children.  Do you stay?  Do you go?  [/quote]

Therapy can go on for years.  In your case OP, therapy would only serve your wife’s goal here: delay long enough until biology prevents you from being a dad.

Divorce your wife if you are serious about becoming a dad.  Your current wife’s actions have been crystal clear on her intentions.  She will not change, sorry.

He's 33.  I don't know if you know this, but men can often have children WELL into their 40s.  And 50s.  And 60s.  I think he has plenty of time to work this out with his wife.  But yes, part of that needs to be deciding if he will stay with her if she does NOT want any children.  [/quote]
